This Is Something You Can't Replace • New EP • OUT NOW

After releasing a number of singles since their inception, most recently ‘Dance With Me’ (2019), Circus Wolves hunkered down to build upon their now established alt.rock/post-punk sound. The band headed to The Chairworks in Castleford with friend and producer Bob Cooper with a view to create a more sonically and lyrically expansive record, pushing their sound in new directions. With a brooding and somewhat darker edge than their previous work, ‘This Is Something You Can’t Replace’ consists of five tracks that plant a flag in the ground for Circus Wolves’ ambition to dominate the Manchester music scene, and beyond.

Circus Wolves are an adrenaline shot of brooding Manchester-made alt-rock. Emotive and frenetic, their post-punk sound is the soundtrack to love, loss and alternate realities, where northern heritage meets modernity.

“Circus Wolves are steadily building a great case for themselves to be Manchester’s next stadium export.” - Design a Gig 

Formed in 2013 at the University of Leeds as Plastic Rabbits, the band spent their formative years on the Leeds scene before relocating to Manchester, their hometown, where they resurfaced as Circus Wolves. With a mixtape of David Bowie, The Strokes, The Smiths and Joy Division as their inspiration, the band quickly captured the attention of local tastemakers.

“Melodic indie rock and roll certain to capture live audiences with their energy and knack for an anthemic chorus.” - Mark Lippman, Founder of Scruff of the Neck Records

The band’s early demos enjoyed support on BBC Introducing and XS Manchester, and support slots with The Amazons, Red Rum Club and The Slow Readers Club earned them a sold-out headline show at Manchester’s Night & Day Cafe.

Circus Wolves are a great live rock’n’roll band, with a commanding stage presence and songs to die for.

“The brooding bass lines manage to transport listeners back into a Thatcher-era concrete factory.” - gigradar.co.uk
